My morning was no different than the night. I was slumped over the toilet once more. Edward held my hair back and I could feel the tension coming off of him. I no longer thought I was having a side effect of the pill. This was something else.

"I'm… I'm going to get Renesmee and we'll go see Carlisle."

I nodded as I tried to catch my breath.

"Hey, anyone here?" I heard Jacob enter to house.

"In Renesmee's room," Edward answered him.

I picked myself up and cleaned my face and brushed my teeth.

"Where's Bella?"

"Bathroom," Edward said nervously. "Leave her alone."

"Is she ok?" Jacob's voice sounded concerned.

Edward didn't answer.

"Edward," Jacob said impatiently.

I heard nothing from Edward. Jacob's quick footsteps down the small hall was all I heard. The bathroom door flew open. Jacob took in me leaning over the sink, trying to hold myself up.

"Damn, Bells!" Jacob gasped and walked into the bathroom to help me.

"We're going to see Carlisle," Edward spoke deeply.

"So lets go." Jacob reached for Renesmee and stepped aside, waiting for Edward to lead the way.

Carefully, Edward picked me up and we were off running.

When we approached the house, Carlisle was already standing out on the porch. His face just as concerned as Edward's.

"Oh, dear," Esme gasped when she saw me. Did I look worse than I actually felt? Or was she thinking the worst?

Rosalie stood between Alice and Emmett. Jasper was leaning against the wall beside Esme. All of their faces looked the same.

"Edward, put me down." I insisted. I wanted my family to see that I was fine. He hesitated, but let me feet go, keeping his arms around my waist.

"See," I smiled making eye contact with every member of the family. "I'm perfectly fine."

"We see that, but I want to make sure." Carlisle reached for my elbow and escorted me up to his office.

"This is highly unusual, but you could be pregnant." Carlisle said after what seemed like forever with him poking and pricking me.

"Really?" I smiled. My voice rose with excitement.

"Bella, sweetie, you're human. I don't know of any human who has gotten pregnant after just a week of giving birth. This could not be healthy for you." Carlisle said calmly.

"But the baby's not human, so it should even out. I can carry him as long as I need to. I'm strong enough. I survived Renesmee, right? Just like we talked about while I was pregnant for her," I turned in my chair to look at Edward. He was a statue in the corner of the room. His hands in tight fists at his side. "Edward, you could change me if you need to. I wont die. I know you won't let that happen. I believe in that." I smiled reassuringly at him. But he was not looking at me. He was starring up at the ceiling. "Edward?" I whispered. I went to get up to go to him, but Carlisle reached over his desk to stop me. In his other hand was the pregnancy test I took. I knew he didn't look at it because he had it face down. Probably to keep his mind clear for Edward.

I looked down when he flipped it over. It was positive. I was really pregnant again. So the birth control didn't work. I dropped both of my hand to my stomach, still flat, but I knew it wouldn't be for long. I suddenly couldn't wait to feel him move for the first time. I wanted to know what he looked like. I already had an idea, I knew I was carrying the baby boy in my dreams. I had to be. He was going to be as beautiful as his sister and father.

Carlisle looked at the result for the first time.

"NO!" Edward's cries snapped me out of my happy daydream. I jumped up, spinning around to look at him. His fists came up at either side of his head, and he slid down the wall, gasping for are. I stood frozen as I watched him.

"Edward," Carlisle was across the room in a flash, kneeling in front of him. "Son, you need to calm yourself." Carlisle pleaded.

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched helplessly. I wasn't strong enough to comfort him, to hold him up. I would soon enough, though. I was ready to join him. I don't want my children growing up protecting me. I needed to protect them.

Edward jumped to his feet and crossed the room before I could finish blinking. His hands were tight on my upper arms, but not hurting me. "Please don't do this! This is all my fault. I should have known it wouldn't work. This could kill you! You might have been strong enough for Renesmee, but you barely made it! You might not make it this time. I can't be without you. I can't raise our daughter without you. Think about her, what you will do to your daughter if you die. You are going to destroy the both of us. I refuse to live without you. You already know that, so you want to leave Renesmee without both her parents?!" Edward was leaning over me, yelling. Carlisle desperately tried getting him to back away from me, but he wasn't strong enough.

"Emmett, Jasper!" Carlisle called over his shoulder.

"Edward, you have to trust me. I know I can do this." I spoke as calmly as I could.

"You don't know, Bella!"

"We have a better idea of what the baby needs. If we give him blood from the beginning than I wont be as sick as I was with Renesmee."

Edward opened his mouth to talk, but his head snapped to the right and narrowed his eyes at his brothers as they rushed through the door. They each grabbed onto an arm and easily pulled him away from me.

I stepped with them, keeping myself close to Edward. I wanted to make sure he knew I wasn't scared of him. That I wanted this.

"I'll make you a deal," I countered.

Edward seemed to find my new plan intriguing. His face relaxed and he stopping fighting against his brothers hold.

"What?" His voice coming out breathless.

"Give it a little while. If I seem to be sick like I was with Renesmee, and the blood isn't working like it did with her, than I will let you take care of…" I swallowed, trying to force myself to say the word. Placing my hands flat against my stomach I sighed. "This."

"You can't be serious," Edward laughed once. It wasn't of humor, he wasn't buying my compromise. "You would have done just about anything to keep Renesmee alive inside of you. You would give up this one? Just like that? No questions asked?"

I knew it would turn out ok, and if it didn't I would make sure I looked ok, enough where Edward wouldn't worry. He just didn't need to know that part.

I nodded confidently. "I promise, no questions asked," I held up one finger letting him know I wasn't done. "But you have to understand that morning sickness comes with being pregnant. It might be a little worse in my case since I am carrying a baby that is not necessarily craving food. Like Renesmee, if I make sure he is fed than I can eat."

I was surprised to see Edward thinking over everything I told him. This might actually work. His hand reached slowly out to me, a smile playing on the corners of his lips. "Mrs. Cullen, I think you have yourself a deal, love."

I took me a minute to recover from his reaction. I was expecting him to put me in restraints and do it all right now, but he was actually willing to give it a try. As long as he knew I would let him end the pregnancy the moment my life was on the line. Before I shook his hand I smiled crookedly at him.

His right eyebrow raised as he watched my expression. "What?" He asked warily.

"After this is done, I want you to change me. No matter what."

His hand stayed sturdy stretched out in front of him. "Anything else?" He asked.

"You don't have a problem with that?"

"I would like for you to stay human, but at the same time I would like you to be immortal."

"Why?" I asked. Already knowing the answer.

"I can't deal with this anymore," his hand moved closer to me, resting it palm down on my stomach.

"That's what I thought." I reached up on my toes and kissed him. His hand stayed on my stomach as he kissed me back.

Carlisle cleared his throat and I jumped away from Edward. I had forgotten the others in the room.

"Edward, you want to go through with this?" He asked, unsure.

Edward nodded, his eyes looking into mine. "That's what she wants, but as long as she stays healthy," he blinked and looked over my shoulder to Carlisle. "The second she takes a turn for the worst. It's over. Done. I will change her, those are her wishes and I will oblige."

It took everything I had in me not to jump up and down with excitement. I settled for a large grin instead.

Carlisle took a deep breath. "Than I suppose we need to get some more blood. Renesmee still has quite a bit, but with two little mouths to feed, we're going to need more."

"We'll go with you," Emmett stepped away from Edward to stand next to Carlisle.

Jasper nodded in agreement and followed Emmett's motion.

"Hey, er, congratulation…" Emmett's statement sounded more like a question. He leaned in to hug me.

Still grinning, I nodded. "Thank you."

"Thank… Thank you." Edward nodded. The smile still playing on the corners of his mouth. I knew deep down he was as excited as I was. When I see him with Renesmee I see how deeply his love for her goes. She seems to warm his heart just the same as I do. He's just going to put my safety before another child--which I appreciate--but it's not necessary. He just needs time--like with Renesmee--to get to know the baby. Once he hears his thoughts, then things will be different. If I can make it to that point unharmed, Edward would not be able to destroy him if he can hear him. I knew that for a fact. Once he heard Renesmee, he was immediately taken by her. It could happen again--it will happen again.

"Let's get you downstairs." Edward wrapped his arm around me and helped me.

Rosalie was across the room and took me in her arms, spinning me around. I closed my eyes so I wouldn't get sick. "Another baby! This is so exciting! We can do it, I know we can." Her smile reflected mine.

"We?" Jacob snorted. "You're going to start that again?"

Rosalie growled at him.

He got off the couch and carried Renesmee over to me. "You sure about this, Bells?" His eyes searched my face for some sign that I didn't want it. He wasn't going to find anything but pure joy.

"Yes, Jake." I nodded, then pushed his shoulder playfully. "But stay away from this one."

Jacob threw his head back as he laughed. Renesmee watched him with a smile spread across her face. "She still jokes. That's how I know you'll be ok."

"Wow, Jake. This is a totally different reaction from the first time." I looked at Renesmee, not wanting her to understand what I was saying. She was still smiling as she stared at Jacob's smile.

He shrugged. "I don't know… the first one didn't turn out half as bad as I thought. I'm a little more open-minded about it now."

I threw my arms around him, Renesmee crushed against both our chests. "Thank you for that." I felt more confident with Jacob on my side this time. It was hard having him fighting against me.

Edward didn't seem to mind it either. The horror was still there in his eyes, but he was counting on the fact that he can destroy the pregnancy if he needed, but little did he know I had another plan. Don't let it get that bad.
